Broker's Comments

This 15m Passenger Ferry is now available and could be put back into service as a commercial vessel or converted into a characterful houseboat.

She was licensed to MCA Category V and Category VI as a working passenger ferry, up to 62 passengers. MCA licence was 1 n.mile from shore and 10 nm from port but the license has now lapsed and would have to be recertified.

The engines are running well and the owner runs them up once a month. Overall, the exterior is in need of remedial work but the basics are there for a successful river business at a very affordable price.
